Carey: North can make the finals

In his weekly BPL Vidcast, WAYNE CAREY says he's looking forward to his old team, North Melbourne, holding centre stage on Saturday night when they play St Kilda at Etihad Stadium in what is effectively an elimination final. The winner is every chance to play finals; the loser is in strife. And Carey reckons the Kangas might just have enough firepower to

knock off the Saints, whose captain Nick Riewoldt now appears to be battling a knee complaint, as well as ordinary form. Carey says such is Riewoldt's desire to lead from the front, and do the inspirational, he's being crazy brave and doing silly things like camping under a massive pack - as he did against Sydney - which will only end in tears. The dual premiership captain says he can't remember a team struggling more than this current Port Adelaide side, and that includes Fitzroy in the mid-90s, which does not bode well for Matthew Primus' long-term future. And while he feels Collingwood has enough depth to cover its mini injury crisis, Carey says he becomes more convinced by the week that this premiership race is wide open - with the Pies, Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast and Carlton all having decent claims to the flag.
